Areas affected...Portions of northwest Oklahoma...central
Kansas...southeast Nebraska

Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 

Valid 040226Z - 040430Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...The environment should remain supportive of large hail and
severe wind gusts over the next few hours. A low-end tornado threat
will also exist, particularly for remaining discrete storms. A new
severe thunderstorm watch is likely.

DISCUSSION...Convection within the central/southern Plains continues
to move eastward this evening. Regional VAD wind show and increase
in the low-level jet (40-50 kts). Along with the low-level jet, 60+
F dewpoints and observed steep mid-level lapse rates will continue
to support some threat for large hail and severe wind gusts.
Low-level hodograph curvature is evident on VAD wind profiles as
well. Some tornado threat will exist, though the primarily linear
storm mode should limit a greater threat. A new severe thunderstorm
watch will likely be needed for at least parts of areas from
northwest Oklahoma into southeast Nebraska.
